It’s a hunger never satisfied for some of us: the allure of singles’ bars and strip clubs, party lines and X-rated Internet sites that can show us whatever we want to see. An uncontrollable need for sexual gratification, just like an addiction to alcohol or drugs, can cause serious problems for anyone. If you believe you’re struggling with a serious sexual disorder or just wish you could more easily manage sexual behaviors that interfere with your life, you’ve found, in this book, a real chance to radically transform your life.

This is not a book that makes a lot of black and white, right and wrong judgments about sexual behavior. Despite what you might have heard—or even believe—it is possible to have problems with sexual self-control and still be a good person and a valuable member of your family and community. Without taking a strong moral position on all sexual behaviors, the scientifically-based techniques in this book guide you to making better sexual choices that are in line with your own values. Using the book’s evaluation worksheets, assess the level of your sexual self-control problem. Utilize its exercises to modify the thoughts and behaviors associated with sexual patterns you want to change. Support your goals with relapse prevention techniques that stress self-acceptance. By following the program in this book, privately and whenever you choose, you will learn how to lead a sexually fulfilling life that still promises you security, stability, and peace of mind.

Soul Shifts

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a excellent book. It speaks directly to individuals with sexual addiction problems in a down-to-earth and respectful manner. The easy style does not disguise the fact that sexual addiction problems are serious and damaging both to victims and the individuals themselves. The quality of the psychological knowledge contained in the book is first rate and the book is beautifully written. It is obvious that Sbraga and O'Donohue have total mastery of their subject matter and are compassionate yet challenging therapists. This book would be an ideal adjunct to therapy or a valuable treatment resource for individuals wanting to work on sexual addiction problems on their own. I am sure it will become a classic." —Tony Ward, Ph.D., clinical director of the School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and coauthor of Sexual Deviance: Issues and Controversies and Remaking Relapse Prevention with Sex Offenders

Two leading clinical psychologists specializing in the treatment of sexual self-control problems offer the first workbook to use proven cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, strategies to help sexual addicts. Individuals who risk their finances, reputations, marriages and even their lives for a quick sexual fix learn easy, step-by-step strategies to help them overcome their addiction to sex and restore their relationships.

I am a professor of clinical psychology with over 150 publications primarily on some aspects of sexual offending and 15 years experience working with sexual offenders. I have also edited several books and authored two others on the explanation, assessment, and treatment of sexual offenders. In my view this is an outstanding publication which manages to combine excellent scholarship with sound practical advice for individuals with sexual disorders. It is written in a clear and straight forward manner and I think will engage offenders in the process of learning to manage their destructive actions and turning their lives around. It should prove useful as an adjunct resource for therapists and also provide individuals reluctant to seek therapy with some valuable strategies for controlling their sexually deviant behavior. This is an excellent addition to the treatment literature.

Any book that makes a spurious claim on its cover is off to a bad start. This one claims to be "The only scientifically supported treatment method for addicts." That claim is not supported by anything in the book. Sources and studies are generally not cited, though the authors do proudly point out that "most" people who used the book found it "helpful." Hardly scientific.

The text feels as if it were written by a college freshman trying to pad a term paper. It repeats itself and wastes a lot of paper and ink with platitudes like "If others can, you can too."

The authors seem to think addiction, which is a complex physiological condition, can be treated simply. Willpower, discipline and shame are emphasized. There's a great deal of blame placed on the porn industry. Recommendations are simplistic, e.g. Disconnect your computer if you use Internet porn, and don't drive down streets where prostitutes hang out.

About every other page, the authors remind you that if you don't stop it you'll go to jail or get AIDS.

Finally, this book seems to be directed at heterosexual males who are sexual predators to one degree or another. There's a lot of talk about molestation and forcing one's partner into rough sex acts. The authors spend at least half their energy trying to convince the reader that he is definitely a sex addict.

This might be useful for sexual predators in denial. But for anybody who acknowledges they have a problem with sex addiction or sexually compulsive behavior, this book offers almost nothing.

This book offers guidance for individuals who struggle with an addiction to sex. It is written in a practical, often entertaining, and always enlightening way. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with psychotherapy. I wish I had had this book in the past as an adjunct to conducting psychotherapy with my patients who have had such problems. I will be sure to use it with patients in the future.

As a pastoral counselor I found this book useful in getting in touch with core basics and how to methodically move through them. I have now used this book with 2 clients and have purchased the last one for a good friend who is struggling with his addictions to pornography. The authors show good insight into the realm of sex addiction and how to pull through it.

I, as a therapist who works with folks who have sexual addictions, have found this book to be a good resource to supplement the work we do together in sessions. It is well written and seems to address the issues in a gentle manner, allowing clients to work at a comfortable pace.Lorraine LaBarre, LCSWNew London, CT

This workbook is practical and empirically supported. Its exercises are clear and cognitively based and includes a survey to measure the degree of sex addiction. I use it in my work with patients in psychotherapy.

Interesting and informative book for those working with clients and or patients that have sexual addictions. However, this book could have been improved by having a section or a chapter regarding Family Counseling and or Therapy for service providers working with individuals with sexual addictions.
